Analysis of Massive Attack - Live with Me (Directed by Johnathan Glazer)

Key points of this video:

• Postmodern
• Beginning of video in shop - social realist, engima - is she having a party with all that alcohol?
• Lots of use of jump cuts at start, quickens time up
• Pace of the music picks up and she begins to walk faster - visual relationship to the music
• "Day and night I've been missing you" - cuts to a CU of her face
• Sitting on the toilet - fairly explicit for a music video - however, it is not glamorised at all (visible with the bleach and toilet brush shown)
• She is almost suicidal, won't stop drinking even when she is on the toilet.
• Use of depth of field
• A visual relationship - the camera jolts as she stumbles from drunkenness
• Dream sequence - postmodernism (Glazer - Sexy Beast)
• Final shot in video of the stars - is she dead? Enigma
